[Q] Is this CPU overclock safe? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I oc'ed my s3 to 1.6 with -100mV undervolting and voltage @ 1375000uV (default is 1350000).
Everything is stable. Should i stay with this?

If you want. There's no "safe" overclock. I'm not even sure if the 4412 is underclocked on the S3 as it is 1.6Ghz on the Note 2 and it's the same chip.

Different revisions. Note II has a newer revision so it can handle the higher clock without it being called an OC

GPU OC

Hey.
Im using MikRunny v1.13 ROM and AnthraX Release 4 kernel but they don't support GPU overclocking.
I heard that you can OC this GPU til 400mhz. Dunno if it's true but just saying.
Is there any kernel that allows to OC CPU to 1.7 or 1.8ghz and that supports GPU OC and runs with MikRunny v1.13 ROM? I don't want to change ROM because I can't find any better and smoother rom for Sense.
So can someone copy link of GSM Kernel that allows 1.8ghz cpu oc and GPU oc?
Why do you need to overclock GPU ? Isn't it enouhg powerfull even for the newest games ?

I was wondering how to OC the gpu too; lots of kernels say they support it but no instruction??
the gpu is not like the cpu because if you overclock the gpu it can give massive proble,ms like artifacts, glitches and etc. it is theoretically possible to overclock to 400mhz like the adreno 225 but the highest supported by htc is 266mhz and qualcomm is 320mhz. htc should just focus on drivers for now because the t mobile galaxy sii has the same chipset and performs better by a factor of about 80%. it might be sense consuming all the power though. just wait until ice cream sandwich. if it is possible however, what can we use? tegrak overclock can overclock the mali 400 to 400mhz and supports all galaxy phones. as some/ of them have the adreno would it be possible to overclock our phones using this app?
Ok, so does anyone know how to overclock the gpu ?

You're just using the wrong Anthrax kernel. Chad.goodman has had that ability in several versions of his kernel. Not sure which ones, because I just leave it as he sets it up.
I think raptoro is right. He has a private and a public kernel. Don't really know the difference though.

Most of this is completely off-topic. Also, the galaxy SII uses the Mali 400mp which is a MUCH faster gpu (Unless T-mobile have a different hardware version of the GS2). Also, it's the chipset makers that generally write the drivers.. you can't really blame HTC for that.
The OP has simply asked how to overclock the GPU, and with which kernel... if someone knows the answer to this, it would greatly help him

Yes, for some reason the T-Mobile SGII uses a qualcomm processor that is the same cpu/gpu as the EVO 3D but different radio.
Edit: T-Mobile and AT&T as well as several other SGIIs use the Qualcomm APQ8060.

But if we want better performance for our phones google team should improve Android. Iphone 4S doesn't have HUGE difference between Evo 3D but it runs faster and smoother because of iOS 5. I think specs are even better in Evo 3D.

Any free oc app?

Im using tegrak oc free app and the max oc i can get is 1.3 ghz is ther eany another free app that does more than 1.3 ghz oc?

No. Just purchase the pro version of Tegrak, I did it and it was well worth it to use the 1.5GHz profile.
The $/performance ratio is well in balance with Tegrak if your a risky OC'er like me.
Yeah, the full version of Tegrak is totally worth the $2 or whatever.
I've been rocking 1.5ghz and it's been awesome. It could probably go beyond that but I'm a little scared to push it. The ICS roms don't work with tegrak for me - I don't know if it's my device or if it's an issue but I've gone back to gingerbread just so I can keep the 1.5ghz.
And yes, the jump from 1.3ghz to 1.5ghz is worth it. The difference in speed for me was almost equal to the first time I OC'd to 1.3. VERY noticible, quite safe at this point IMO.

Cpu problems

Hello everyone i am running predator unity3D 1.8 with anryl 30.09 and the cpu can go up to 1.5ghz its set at max 1512 and i set it a min 192mhz to save battery but it automatically overclocks the minimum frequency to 1512 its like running the performance governor while i set it ondemand and its killing my battery life what might be causing that problem? On other roms it works fine
Thx in advance

What app do you use for overclocking? I know that AnrylTweakz 6 or 7 (not the latest one) has a bug to set the min frequency to maximum available. I use System Tuner and have no problems.
Yeah i am using anryl tweaks but now i deleted in the bug is still there:/

That's weird. It happens right after you reset the minimum frequency, right?
I have the same problem...
I even reinstalled the rom (with stock kernel), but now it's stuck on 1,2GHz, instead of 1,5 and it won't get down either...
Edit:
Okay, I give up. I did a full wipe, reinstalled the entire rom, kernel, everything, had to start right from the beginning, and the damned CPU still won't get a minimum.
Make sure u are s-off and change the rom i am running cyanogenmod 9 with 30.09 kernel and working like a charm 3650 points on quadrant and i have a minimum

cpu clock problems
hi every one i have a problem ... My cpu is rated as 1.2 GHz quad core .. but it always runs at 800mhz with two cores running whenever I try t change that it again locks to 800mhz and two cores ...... please reply me .... Thanks in advance

Quad core on Evo??? Are you sure? Evo has a dual core Snapsragon S3

[Q] Best Gpu/Cpu OC and UV setup for best gaming performance!

Hello, can anyone tell me a good setup of overclocking gpu and cpu for the best performance on games because when I OV gpu I get worse performance because overclocking only the gpu does not help A LOT.
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
CPU -> 1600 to 1700 MHz
GPU -> 600 MHz
UV -> -75 to all CPU steps
Should give you some interesting results, albeit a lot of extra heat,

I have never touched gpu voltages so I can't help you there, sorry.
Actually CPU can be lowered to 1200-1300 to reduce the heat. I do not know how much the GPU allows on the S3 but with my Note 2 I use it CPUmax=1300, GPUmax=733 (sometimes 800).

Sorry but no one can tell you best settings for your phone, every chip is different, some handles lower uv values and some can be oc'd more than other.
Read this guide, it may give you some tips to right direction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827635
Edit: And do not ever blindly use someone else's oc/uv settings!
My settings with perseus:
CPU: OCed at 1.6 GHz with -100mv UV at each step.
GPU: Minimum 266 MHz to Maxed at 640 MHz. (No change in Voltage).
Left almost everything untouced in the CPU+Memory+GPU Tabs on Stweaks.
On Siyah I have pretty much identical CPU+GPU setup except for the GPU Voltage.
Play Dead Trigger for 30-40 minutes everyday.

[Q]can we overclock our Exynos 4412 1.4GHz up to 1.6GHz like Note II?

i was wondering...
from the information i know , the i9300 and N7100 are using same CPU , Exynos 4412, 32 nm
but the difference is that N7100's CPU has been set to 1.6 GHz but our S3 is at 1.4 GHz
so i wanna know if we OC it from 1.4 to 1.6 , will it be running stable as Note II without cause any side effect like unstable or reduce CPU physical lifetime ?
overclocking is stable till 1714mhz and for some till 1800mhz
so stability yes but cpu life hmm not sure i saw someone check his Cpu after a while there were some brown spots on that thing it was grilling

I am running the SIII on 1.6 GHz for quite some time, no problem at all. Cannot judge on the long term effects though, but at least 2 years it should do, after that anyway time for a new phone
I don't overclock anymore but some apps report the CPU as being 1600.
My guess is the cpu is underclocked for the s3 rather than overclocked for the note 2

I OverClock it with Tegrak Overclock in JB Rootbox to 1,6 GHz and my antutu score is 17.600 like note2
Very good point, Samsung should not overclock it as it may cause freeze and instability.
So maybe it has been downclock due to battery reason to something like that? Because note 2 battery is bigger than ours...

I think because they knew note 2 was coming, they need to give it more advantages over the S3 to sell it more
